I did this when trying to compile an application which needed XView3 back when I only had XView2 available on my Sun. Yes, there were a few errors I had to fix but not that many and they were easily identified from the compiler messages. -> ->My suggestion to the sun people: come on use Xt & Motif... -> At least with XView3 I was able to make the fixes without having to buy the source code! Besides, why would someone purposefully make their interface look like a Microsoft Windows clone... Yuck! (IMHO :) ) I would like to hear what others perceive to be the advantages of either XView or Motif. (Perhaps another newsgroup would be a better place? Suggestions?)
